Sommario/riassunto

The Annual World Bank Conference on Development Economics (ABCDE) brings together the world's finest development thinkers to present their perspectives and ideas. In recent years, a parallel, second conference has been held in Europe with the same goal of expanding the flow of ideas between thinkers, practitioners, and policymakers in the field of international development. Annual World Bank Conference on Development Economics Europe 2005 presents selected papers from the sixth annual ABCDE - Europe meetings, held May 2004 in Brussels, Belgium. This volume contains articles on trade flows, human capital flows, capital flows and aid flows. It provides a general overview of the links between poverty and migration and insight and opinions on key development issues. The ABCDE Europe 2005 is a critical reference guide for development research and will be of interest to practitioners and those studying international development and poverty reduction.
